Ice Speedway 2018/19

Recommended Posts

I’ve been sent a provisional calendar for the Ice Speedway Gladiators for the new season. It probably needs ratifying by the FIM but it’s broadly the same as was posted on last years thread on the last few pages.

12.1.19 - QR1 Venue TBC

19.1.19 - QR2 Venue TBC

2/3.2.19 - Final 1 Astana (TBC)

9/10.2.19 - Final 2 Shadrinsk

16/17.2.19 - Final 3 Togliatti

2/3.3.19 - Final 4 Berlin

16/17.3.19 - Final 5 Inzell

30/31.3.19 Team Final Heerenveen

23/24.2.19 FIM Europe European Championship (Venue TBC)

Once it’s confirmed, expect the Russian calendar to be confirmed too.

Didn’t one of the Russian teams announce their line-up a few weeks ago with 1 or 2 surprises?Didn’t take much notice but the young German what’s his name and was it Franky as well?

As far as I know...

Franky Zorn will ride for shadrinsk along with Koltatov

Martin Haararhten will ride for Kamensk Uralsky

Ove Ledstrom I expect will also race in Russia as I've seen quite a few FB posts of him in Russia.

16 year old German Khazmurzin is also going to Torpedo, so he will be one to watch with both Franky and Dimon in the team. He suffered an injury at Heerenveen at the start of practice for the Roelof Thijs meeting, so I've only seen him ride on the net. But he's highly rated and certainly one to watch. 

Ledstrom is angling for a team in Russia, and was on the local Shadrink TV channel although he did say he hadn't signed with anyone, but wants to ride in Russia to improve. You can see Ove although its predominantly in Russian, Ove does speak in English.

Tickets for Inzell go on sale on 4.10.18 from  http://www.eisspeedway-inzell.de/ Prices range from €28 to €55and there is a VIP option available too. 

The site is all in German but it's fairly easy to navigate. The tab for tickets isn't there yet, though

Do we know when the provisional dates become factual dates?

 I would love to book Heerenveen flights & may go to Berlin. That`ll be a first for me.

If I do Berlin is the first/second turn a good place to watch or what is the back straight opposite the start-line like? 

From the coverage I have seen you appear quite low at the start-line. And turn 4 is high up & a distance from the track.

Inzell already sorted. Please look out for me Conkers! Hopefully at the start-line with the Union Jack flag again.

Wouldn’t bother with turn 4.Got to be the worst position I have ever seen at a stadium.Back straight is good,especially for me at the left side,just where the riders are coming out of the bend

First/second bend in Berlin is nice.

FIM can’t announce the dates yet. Teams might not be in heerenveen.

Togliatti will host the teams and Heerenveen the final two individual rounds.

Seemed somewhat strange to hold the team final at Heerenveen
